When your BBS polls a hub, and obtains newer messages, how does the
sender know which messages are newer?

This is a simple question, I'm trying to get my head around how FTN's work.
When your BBS polls a hub, and obtains newer messages, how does the
sender know which messages are newer?
For example, I run mis poll at 3PM then again at 6PM. I'm wondering
how the sender knows it is messages in the last three hours it needs to send.
I never set up a specific account with the BBS I'm polling. Does the sender remember what it has sent to that specific node number? Or does the client (my BBS for example) send a timestamp of when it last
polled.
